Here’s the Philadelphia Inquirer reporting on the 76ers, whose bright spot in the backcourt, young Michael Carter-Williams, is still recovering from surgery:

On Oct. 30, 2013, Michael Carter-Williams torched the Miami Heat for 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals, and 7 rebounds in his inaugural regular-season game.
There’s a chance that the 76ers’ second-year point guard won’t get a chance to duplicate the feat in his second season opener.
“I don’t know,” coach Brett Brown said Thursday regarding Carter-Williams’ availability for the start of the regular season. “But at the start of our preseason games, I expect to give Tony [Wroten] the ball” at point guard.
Carter-Williams, last season’s rookie of the year, had surgery May 6 to repair the labrum in his right shoulder. He will not be a full participant at training camp, which begins Tuesday at Richard Stockton College in Galloway Township, N.J.
